Dyer to star in lads' mag sitcom 'Filth'

Danny Dyer will star in a new sitcom which is to be piloted as part of Channel 4's Comedy Lab this summer.

Filth is set in the office of a lads' magazine and will see former EastEnders actress Tracy-Ann Oberman taking on the role of Dyer's ball-busting boss.

Broadcast Now reports that a total of seven pilots will run under the strand, including Avalon's Penelope: Princess of Pets, which features Flight Of The Conchords star Kristen Schaal and her comedy partner Kurt Braunholer.

Jack Whitehall, who hosted last year's live launch of Big Brother's Big Mouth, will also have his own comedy slot.
